Ascension Parish is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. With a robust economy and forecast for future growth, planning for an expanding population is key to maintaining the parish’s great quality of life. A Citizens Advisory Group has formed to review the current plans for recreation, sports and the arts.
The plan has four components:
1. Upgrading and enhancing local parks all over the parish
2. Developing a Multi-Use Sportsplex
3. Completing the Donaldson Fairgrounds Sports Complex
4. Developing Kayak and Nature Trails
These plans are not finalized and The Citizens Advisory Group and Representatives of Ascension Parish Recreation are seeking input at public meetings. You are invited to share your opinions. Every person attending the meeting will have an input form and these opinions will be analyzed by the Citizens Advisory Group. Your input is vital to the planning effort.

You can help EASL build more bluebird nest boxes! On Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 1pm, volunteers will gather at Diez Sign Shop on Coontrap Road where wood and materials will be ready for preparing and assembling nest boxes. We are asking volunteers to bring their own hammer. Contact Dwain Gautreaux at 921-4173 for more information.
